Trump understands little, but he does know that if he fires the poster child of loyalty Kristi Noem all the other sycophants who try to emulate her behavior will get second thoughts.

It is really, really difficult to square this ostentatious "might makes right" attitude with anything Jesus teaches in the Gospels.

When I say difficult I mean completely impossible, something the Pope has been trying to get across to his new convert, JD Vance.

The Evangelical base cares about the State of Israel existing, so the Rapture can take place. Their "affection"" for the Jewish people is as high as it was in the Gospel of John and under Martin Luther.

I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with a certain despot who is wielding kompromat over a certain despot-wannabe?

A small price to pay to keep us from seeing his pedo-files.

Better get him a protective detail.

The treatment of the presumed illegal immigrants is reminiscent of what happened in German concentration camps.

The future treatment of the guards and their bosses should not be different either.

If, like insider Kyle Rittenhouse states, Ken Paxton is the best of the best that probably that is a pretty good indicator of how depraved MAGA really is.

He should get his moment of crusader glory. I envision him in shining armor on horseback donned in the white attire with Maltese Cross, wielding a mighty sword galloping into well deserved oblivion.

They are breaking the law, a law approved with almost unanimous consent AND signed by the protector-of-wealthy-pedophiles-like-myself-in-Chief. Even though that law specifically says info cannot be redacted because it is embarrassing of damaging politically. Like the testimony of a 13 year old.

Clear evidence the earth is flat.

And would you eat it if you found it?

Besides. Everyone knows Trump only feels warmly about one thing, himself.

And maybe about what is brewing in his diaper.

He acted like a shopkeeper acts to repeated threats of what might happen to the “beautiful store he has there” if he does not pay the mob boss the protection money.

Cowardice, stolen valor, lies, and grift facing true heroism, honor and incredible courage. Man, I admire that Marine. He is worth more than the entire fake virtue signaling Trump Administration.

Maybe, just maybe, they are concerned their Dear Leader could be exposed for the sleazy pervert that he is. In a way, they are protecting themselves because releasing the info could show that they failed miserably in protecting our nation from this sleazy predator all that time.

Maybe he will volunteer for his demented Fuhrer, but somehow I have my doubts.

Hé has got a point. But he also misses the important one. The points are entirely irrelevant for this shameless GOP.

Have some sympathy for the poor embattled and not very smart sods. They have to show loyalty to the deranged perverted madman to avenge his real criminal cases with fake ones against his prosecutors that stand zero chance in court as they are based on vindictiveness rather than facts.

I am not positive about AI. Short term financial gains of fake increased productivity will obscure massive dumbification, a complete reliance on by than unchallengeable “knowledge”, and endless algorithm-driven slop for entertaining the bored masses. We are no longer needed. Terminator

Maybe that is why the founders insisted on a body of thinking people to muse over going to war rather than relying on the demented ravings of an inept con artist.

Anyone thinking an imaginary deity is on “their” side as a justification for cruelty and murder is simply using the fictional (human invented) loin cloth of religion to cover their mental laziness and immorality.

Netanyahu needs an Iranian threat as much as Trump needs a war with Iran, to distract from them being useless, foul, and evil criminals.

No, he has not. He has the right to f$&k off into the oblivion he was in before Trump needed the vote of the lunatics who listen to this madman.

That would be the war we are not having because that would be unconstitutional.

What is the big deal? Everyone in the Trump administration has lewd extramarital affairs. I thought that was a requirement.

Who should we believe? Such a difficult choice.

Two things wrong with this:

1. Netanyahu has been saying that for 30 years trying to scare the US.

2. Trump said we had annihilated Iran’s nuclear capability.

(3. Trump tore up an agreement we had to inspect and control the Iranian nuclear program).

If the president does not want to look bad maybe he should not have started a war without asking permission from Congress like the Constitution demands he does.

Do not get me wrong. He would look only a little less bad.
